Building a strong team in the Powerplay Manager game is a process of balance.  You need to put together a team of the right players, train them to the best of their abilities and position and build an infrastructure around your team to support their growth now and into the future.  Too often I hear about people who have create a winning team in their first season, only to have to fall apart around their knees in seasons following.  Generally, upon taking a better look at their team the eason for this "internal destruction" is not because of their team, but the managers lack of solid arena and facility infrastructure.

You might be wondering what exactly "is" infrastructure.  It's the foundations that holds your team together.  Sure, you could go on the market and build a team of 200+ OR players.  You could probably fill your staff positions with 40+ OR staff, but will that team win this season?  Next season?  How about the season after?  You will find that in the seasons to come, the top managers wont be those who are putting up big numbers right now, but the managers who take the time to build the foundations of their team; their arena and their facilities.

You have 7 facilities within your arena:

• Training Facility
• Regeneration Facility
• Human Resources and Economic Department
• Maintenance Center
• Education Center
• Sports Academy
• Medical Center

I am going to break each of these down, in the order of importance according to my style of game play.  I should point out that what i consider to be the order of priority for these facilities may not be the same as others, however I will explain my reasoning as we move forward.
